This piece is an opaque, fancy shaped multi color opal weighing 3.82 carats, with dimensions of 13.33 x 4.04 x 8.35 millimeters, presented in a tablet cut that amplifies its color. The color intensity is intense, and the polish is excellent. We disclose that this stone is a doublet enhancement, expertly assembled to preserve and showcase the vibrant opal layer, and sourced from Australia, a region renowned for producing the finest Black Opals in the world. For those who seek certainty and exceptional appearance, this opal is the perfect solution, combining rarity, beauty, and the careful workmanship you expect from The Natural Gemstone Company.

Visually, the Black Opal offers a captivating interplay of colors that shifts as light and angle change, creating a living canvas that draws the eye. Predominant flashes of electric green and deep blue move across a dark bodytone, producing high contrast and a dramatic effect that is the hallmark of premium Black Opals. Subtle warmer tones and earthy matrix elements appear in places, adding depth and character so that the stone reads as both vivid and natural. The fancy shape and tablet cut present broad areas of color play, allowing the gem to reveal expansive patches of color rather than a scattered pinfire pattern, which makes it especially striking when set into a ring or pendant. At 13.33 by 4.04 by 8.35 millimeters, the gem has a presence that balances wearability with visual impact, and its 3.82 carat weight gives it substance without being too large for refined jewelry designs.

From a technical perspective, understanding that this opal is a doublet is important for making informed design and care choices, and we are transparent about this at The Natural Gemstone Company. Doublets are crafted by bonding a thin slice of precious opal to a protective backing, a process that preserves the opal’s color and allows for more economical use of high quality material while maintaining striking appearance. The tablet cut and excellent polish speak to careful lapidary work, and the intense color intensity reflects the quality of the opal layer. Because doublets have a bonded structure, we recommend settings that protect the exposed opal edge, such as bezels or partially bezelled prongs, to minimize the risk of impact or moisture ingress. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water if necessary, and allow the piece to dry thoroughly. Keep the opal away from extreme heat, prolonged direct sunlight, or environments that could dry out or stress the bonded layer. With proper care, a doublet can be enjoyed daily and admired for its lively play of color for many years.
